Arctic 20 degrees above average. On top of that the gulf stream (that keps europe warm) has shifted west and is going right into Greenland. Put the higher jet stream pushing cold air to the east coast and the gulf stream moving into Greenland and 2010 will probably beat the huge arctic ice melt of 2007 THAT OPENED THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE!!, for the first time in mankinds history!

The Eskimos say the ice is melting from the bottom. Huge new storms are also breaking up the ice so new ice is thinner.

And as I've noted before, the Arctic is and has been in a relative heat wave, @ 20 degrees F above normal. Look here, and scroll down to third map for the anomaly. Been this way 'most all winter.

Noted, from the discussion... Dude said 20 degrees F; graph is in degrees C.
